1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of what persons with lived experience and professionals with experience of patient safety, suicide research, and investigations consider to be most important in investigations of healthcare before suicide to learn and improve the care of suicidal patients. Method: This is a qualitative study based on 15 semistructured interviews with persons with lived experience of suicidality and professionals. Thematic analysis was used. Results: The persons with lived experience and the professionals agreed that a holistic approach to the investigations is crucial. They should embrace a longer period of time, involve family and significant others, integrate the perspective and expectations of the patient, and analyze factors of significance for suicidality, suicide prevention, and safety. There is a need to improve the investigations through the involvement of all stakeholders and actors, securing competence in the investigation team and prioritizing cases to investigate. Conclusions: Substantial changes in the approach and performance of investigations of suicide in healthcare are needed to make these investigations valuable for increasing the safety of the care of suicidal patients. A holistic perspective during the analysis is crucial for understanding the suicidal process, the interacting factors, and the care process preceding suicide. Competencies in suicidality, suicide prevention, and patient safety must be included in the analysis team to ensure high quality and relevance. To improve the value of these investigations, we suggest establishing a template based on current knowledge to ensure attention to variables of significance for a safe care of suicidal patients.
